About

Hi! I'm Amber (she/her), I'm 28, and I'm a software & operations engineer by trade. My job title is "DevOps Engineer". In my spare time, I'm an everything hobbyist, weaving in and out of many different interests, including but not limited to:

• cars (incl. sportscar racing, the modified scene, etc)
• computers, namely SFF Linux machines (I use Arch BTW)
• video games, mostly of the late 1990s/early 2000s but also including modern motorsport and vehicle simulations
• music, notably drum and bass, jungle, og dubstep, garage, 2step, etc.
• programming, as a hobby
• mechanical keyboards (I write this on a self-designed 1-of-1 'Vision Computer Systems 750 GT')
• computer aided design (CAD), electronic engineering (EE), and other 'maker' hobbies
• film photography, 35mm and 645 medium format

If you're interested in what I output in a programming sense, I have a profile on some Git-as-a-Service platforms, which you can see here:

• GitHub
• GitLab

As I work for a contractor, sometimes I am required to use VCS accounts that are not my own, and this activity is not reflected in any gamification metrics you see on these platforms. I have a long-running love/hate relationship with those kind of metrics and I may turn off the commit history as it prioritises number of commits (and many teams prefer to squash commits so you only get +1 anyway...)

If you want to contact me, you can do so via email.

Author's note: I am NOT on any Internet platforms not listed on this page. Anyone under the username amberstarlight on those platforms is an impostor.
